Internal checks are essential.
An external perspective matters too.

Laboratory results inform decisions about patient care. Understanding how your testing performs is an essential part of laboratory quality.

External quality assessment (EQA) adds an independent comparison to your internal quality controls—helping you evaluate performance and identify areas for improvement.

  • Evaluate testing performance
  • Identify opportunities to improve
  • Support ongoing quality improvement
